political activist and notorious prankster who rides motorcycles in his spare time, it’s pretty safe to say that George Clooney is a total man’s man. And when it comes to his look? He’s basically a style icon. Let’s just put it this way – when guys thought jeans worked everywhere, Clooney stepped out in a suit sans tie. And made it cool.

Here’s how to nail the look.

  1. Jeans, a tee, and a leather moto jacket are the off-duty go-tos. This classic look has worked for James DeanMarlon Brando, and every other cool guy in history.
  2. For a hint of danger, pair a dark shirt (collar open) with a dark suit. You can’t go wrong in masculine black, grey, and navy. It’s unexpected and lends a definite debonair edge.
  3. Dress pants should sport a single sharp crease in front and in back. It’s ironing 101, and it’s one of those small but important finishing touches.
  4. When in doubt, step out in polished black oxfords. Whether you’re in jeans or a tux, these shoes go with everything.
